I am planning on brewing a couple of beers to take to a reunion and I have a few concerns.
We will be driving for a couple of days, and I know that the sediment will get stirred up a good bit while we are driving. I am thinking of racking to a keg and crash cooling for a few days. Then transferring to another keg after everything settles out. Will this be sufficient, or should I investigate filtering?
Secondly, I don't have any way to keep the beer cold while I travel. Will I have any problems maintaining carbonation or with head retention if the beer gets warm and is cooled again?
I am probably worrying too much, but I don't want to go to all of this trouble and show to with two crappy beers.
